[VIC] Great Alpine Rd II 4-6th November

vtl · 09-03-2018, 08:16 PM

The previous great alpine road trip was memorable, in that it was the first big trip we conducted on this forum. A few years later and there has been some great trips, most notably the great Tasmania trip in November. We have not had many events this year and would be good to get a good one in before the year runs out.

Anyone who wants to experience the best roads in Victoria, put your name down if interested. The route has been improved since the last trip and covers parts of the great alpine road, and omeo highway. Theres much more twisty roads for some good fun

Day 1 Sunday 4th of November
Melbourne to Bairnsdale, then staying overnight in Omeo

Day 2 Monday 5th of November

Just a side note, will be also possible for people in NSW to join. In that case you can meet us in Omeo on Sunday night.

terminator335i · 09-04-2018, 06:25 PM

I think all interstate can easily come along since it's a two night stay. Meet up in Melbourne and we can all convoy together.
